BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to transmission methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and device of radio signal transmission in a wireless communication system that supports cellular networks.

Related Art

For the purpose of supporting more demanding Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC) traffics in 5G system, for example, with higher reliability (e.g., a target BLER is 10{circumflex over ( )}−6) or with lower delay (e.g., 0.5-1 ms), a Study Item (SI) on URLLC advancement in NR Release 16 was approved at the 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN) #80th Plenary Session. The focus of the study includes how to achieve lower transmission latency and higher transmission reliability of a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH)/Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH).

SUMMARY

In NR Release 15, as found by inventors through researches, a PUSCH/PDSCH transmission is restricted in a slot, which means that transmission across the slot boundary shall be forbidden. When there is a large amount of data to be transmitted or channel quality is poorer, more time-frequency resources may be required for transmitting a PUSCH/PDSCH, which will probably lead to larger transmission delay. To meet requirements of NR Release 16 for URLLC traffic with lower transmission delay and higher transmission reliability, a key issue of how to advance PUSCH/PDSCH transmission has to be handled.

To address the above problem, the present disclosure provides a solution. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be mutually combined if no conflict is incurred.

The present disclosure provides a method in a User Equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising:

receiving a first signaling, the first signaling being used to determine N time sub-windows, the N time sub-windows being reserved for a first bit block; and

operating a first radio signal and a second radio signal respectively in a first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block;

herein, the first radio signal and the second radio signal respectively carry two repetitions of transmission of the first bit block; the first time-frequency resource block belongs to a time sub-window of the N time sub-windows in time domain, while the second time-frequency resource block belongs to a time sub-window of the N time sub-windows in time domain; the first radio signal corresponds to a first parameter, while the second radio signal corresponds to a target parameter, the target parameter being either the first parameter or a second parameter, and whether the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of the N time sub-windows is used to determine whether the target parameter is the first parameter or the second parameter; the operating action is transmitting, or, the operating action is receiving; N is a positive integer greater than 1.

In one embodiment, a problem to be solved in the present disclosure is that: when a Nominal repetition of transmission of a PUSCH/PDSCH across the slot boundary is allowed, whether the Nominal repetition of transmission is across the slot boundary or is across DL/UL switching point, it is separated as two actual repetitions of transmission, so how to design Tx/Rx parameters for different repetitions of transmission of the PUSCH/PDSCH becomes a key issue in need of addressing.

In one embodiment, the essence of the above method lies in that N time sub-windows respectively correspond to N Nominal repetitions of transmission of a PUSCH/PDSCH, and Tx/Rx parameters configured to various Nominal repetitions can differ from one another; a first radio signal and a second radio signal are two actual repetitions of transmission, and a first parameter and a second parameter are respectively Tx/Rx parameters for two Nominal repetitions of transmission, of which the first parameter is a Tx/Rx parameter of a first radio signal, and a target parameter is a Tx/Rx parameter of a second radio signal; when a first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block belong to different time sub-windows of N time sub-windows in time domain, the first radio signal and the second radio signal are respectively two Nominal repetitions of transmission; when the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of the N time sub-windows in time domain, the first radio signal and the second radio signal are two actual repetitions of transmission of a same Nominal repetition of transmission. An advantage of the above method is that a Tx/Rx parameter for a PUSCH/PDSCH's repetition of transmission can be dynamically determined according to whether a Nominal repetition of transmission is across the slot boundary or the DL/UL switching point, which, compared with a method of dynamic indicating by a physical layer signaling, has much smaller signaling overhead.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the above method is characterized in that when the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block respectively belong to two adjacent time sub-windows of the N time sub-windows in time domain, the target parameter is the second parameter; when the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of the N time sub-windows in time domain, the target parameter is the first parameter.

In one embodiment, the essence of the above method lies in that when a first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block belong to different time sub-windows of N time sub-windows in time domain, a first radio signal and a second radio signal are respectively two Nominal repetitions of transmission, a second parameter being a Tx/Rx parameter of the second radio signal; when a first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of N time sub-windows, a first radio signal and a second radio signal are two actual repetitions of transmission of a same Nominal repetition of transmission, a first parameter being a Tx/Rx parameter of the second radio signal. An advantage of the above method is that a same Tx/Rx parameter is employed in two actual repetitions of transmission of a same Nominal repetition of transmission to improve reliability of the Nominal repetition of transmission.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the above method is characterized in that when the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block respectively belong to two adjacent time sub-windows of the N time sub-windows in time domain, the target parameter is the second parameter; when the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of the N time sub-windows in time domain, size of the first time-frequency resource block is used to determine whether the target parameter is the first parameter or the second parameter.

In one embodiment, the essence of the above method lies in that when a first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block belong to different time sub-windows of N time sub-windows in time domain, a first radio signal and a second radio signal are respectively two Nominal repetitions of transmission, a second parameter being a Tx/Rx parameter of the second radio signal; when a first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of N time sub-windows, a first radio signal and a second radio signal are two actual repetitions of transmission of a same Nominal repetition of transmission, size of the first time-frequency resource block reflects a number of bits actually transmitted therein, so whether a target parameter is the same as a first parameter is dependent on a number of bits transmitted in an earlier one of the two actual repetitions of transmission. An advantage of the above method is that for two actual repetitions of transmission of a Nominal repetition of transmission, size of REs occupied by one actual repetition of transmission can be used to dynamically determine a Tx/Rx parameter for the other actual repetition of transmission, through which much smaller signaling overhead will be generated compared with the method of dynamic indication of a physical layer signaling.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the above method is characterized in that when the first time-frequency resource block and the second time-frequency resource block belong to a same time sub-window of the N time sub-windows, size of the first time-frequency resource block and size of the second time-frequency resource block are used to determine a first value; relative magnitude of the first value and a first threshold is used to determine whether the target parameter is the first parameter or the second parameter.

In one embodiment, the essence of the above method lies in that when a first radio signal and a second radio signal are two actual repetitions of transmission of a same Nominal repetitions of transmission, if a first time-frequency resource block is smaller, a first parameter is still employed as a Tx/Rx parameter of the second radio signal to ensure reliability of the Nominal repetition of transmission; if the first time-frequency resource block is larger, the reliability of the Nominal repetition of transmission is guaranteed, and a second parameter will be employed as a Tx/Rx parameter of the second radio signal. The above method is advantageous in dynamically determining a Tx/Rx parameter for a repetition of transmission, and meanwhile ensuring the reliability of one Nominal repetition of transmission as well as reliability and transmission delay of a total of repetitions of transmission.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the above method is characterized in that the operating action is transmitting, the first parameter is used to determine multi-antenna related transmission of the first radio signal, and the target parameter is used to determine multi-antenna related transmission of the second radio signal; or, the operating action is receiving, the first parameter is used to determine multi-antenna related reception of the first radio signal, and the target parameter is used to determine multi-antenna related reception of the second radio signal.

In one embodiment, the essence of the above method lies in that a first parameter and a second parameter indicate a reference signal, such as a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) and a Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast CHannel (SS-PBCH) Block. A transmission antenna port of the reference signal and a transmission antenna port of a first radio signal are Type D QCL, or, a UE can assume that a transmitting/receiving beam of the reference signal is the same as that of a first radio signal.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the above method is characterized in that the first parameter is a parameter of N1 sequentially arranged parameters, and the second parameter is a parameter of the N1 sequentially arranged parameters, and a position of the first parameter in the N1 sequentially arranged parameters is used to determine the second parameter, N1 being a positive integer greater than 1.

In FIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture for a UE and a base station (gNB or eNB) is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1) is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of various PHY layers. The L1 is called PHY 301 in the present disclosure. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, L2 305 comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303 and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304. All the three sublayers terminate at the gNBs of the network side. Although not described in FIG. 3, the UE may comprise several higher layers above the L2 305, such as a network layer (i.e., IP layer) terminated at a P-GW 213 of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (i.e., a peer UE, a server, etc.).
